DONT GET THIS APP ### 1/5 — Scam App *2024-07-13, version 4.7* This app blocked my phone once I was in it and prevented me from exiting until I rebooted my phone. Do not download this app. ### 1/5 — Dolandırıcı bir uygulama ki yazıklar olsun size 😡🤬 *2023-01-07, version 4.1* Dolandırıcı olduğunuz net sakın sakın indirmeyin sakın abone olursunuz farkına varmazsınız ayrıca o kadar saçma sapan yetersiz bir uygulama ki yazıklar olsun size 😡🤬 ### 2/5 — Glitchy :/ *2023-12-12* I’ve been using this app for well over a year; it used to be free and it isn’t anymore which is a bummer. I paid for the upgrade since the search function (allowing you to search the app’s templates) wasn’t functioning buuuuut it still isn’t functioning. Now I’ve paid for the app and it isn’t actually working properly:/ didn’t have that problem when it was free. **Developer response:** Sorry, that must have been really annoying. You weren't imagining it, opening line art could crash the app, and that's fixed in the latest version now. Please do try again if you get the chance. I'd love for it to earn a spot in your bullet journal. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2022-10-11, version 4.0* Love the idea of the app but it’s super glitchy. Every time I try to open any line art the app closes. It’s really disappointing as I’d love to be able to use them for my bullet journal! ### 3/5 — Great for tracing *2021-12-29* Using it to trace is awesome! The only problem I have is that I’m not able to choose my own words. There are so many different fonts and it is great to use! I just wish I could customize what I said **Developer response:** Hello :) Thank you for your review. Have you tried the header section in the main menu. Currently you'll be able to select some of the fonts but you certainly right there will be more customization to resize and warp the fonts for headers. ### 3/5 — Pls fix *2021-08-11, version 3.1* Amazing idea and would really love it and use it…..if it worked. Every time I launch the app and tap on ‘line art’, references or banners the app just crashes. FYI I’m using an iPhone 7 running the latest iOS update. Plsss fix this. ### 5/5 — love *2023-01-06* I absolutely love the Stencil app! It has completely revolutionized my drawing experience and has helped me level up my art skills. The augmented reality guidelines are an absolute game changer - they make it so much easier to draw precise lines and shapes, and have helped me achieve a level of detail in my drawings that I never thought possible. The app is also really user friendly and easy to navigate, which is a huge plus. I especially love the option to use my own photos or doodles as reference material, as it allows me to draw anything I can imagine. Overall, I think Stencil is an incredible tool for any artist, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their drawing skills. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, this genuinely made my week. The AR guides took a long time to get right, so hearing they helped your linework means a lot. Really glad it's useful to you. ### 5/5 — If I could give 10 stars I would! *2022-12-02* I really like the idea of how you can trace everything. You just have to have a cup or something to put your phone on to project the image. **Developer response:** Thank you, and yes, the cup method is very real. Most people end up propping their phone on something. If you trace a lot, a cheap gooseneck phone clamp makes it much steadier. Glad the tracing itself is working well for you. ### 5/5 — Funny *2022-01-26, version 3.4* I have a lot of fun drawing using the app. very nice app ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing for journaling!!! *2022-01-12* I saw this app and was initially unsure about it because apps like this always make you pay for every worthwhile feature. This app surprised me though! It allows you to pick a stencil from the free options which are still very useful and you can easily modify them outside of the app. My favorite free feature is the customized font and label option. It is so nice for journaling or titles on notes. I am super excited to eventually get Premium though, which is very reasonably priced for someone with a low spending by budget! The option to use Pinterest for other stencils is brilliant! One recommendation: that the font names would be written in their corresponding fonts! I love the options but it’s annoying looking at every single one to find the one I like. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review :) It's a beautiful feeling to be helpful to the journaling community. And your fantastic feedback is much appreciated. We are working on a new version with an improved headlines fonts section and more stencils and search of stencils. Hopefully, it'll be available soon. Thanks again for your support ❤️ Muge & Mert ### 5/5 — Useful and great app for bullet journal *2021-03-01, version 1.1* I love drawing doodle and arts to my bullet journal, and I tried Guitar Man line art from Stencil. And, it looks amazing! 🥰 Love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
